Flt. 587 Eyewitnesses Insist Explosion Came Before Tail Broke Off

There's always someone who will insist that the sky isn't blue. Just like there will always be somebody, who will insist that this plane didn't come down because of an accident.

In both cases they are wrong, the problem is, they never want to admit it.

Tom Lynch & Jim Conrad, get bodyguards and food tasters.

Just a speculation but it's easily possible that the tail supports snapped enough in the wake turbulance to skew the tail so that the plane became un-controlable causing the plane to start to break up (engines coming off, etc) before the tail completely tore loose.

They have the voice recorder which tends to pick up sounds like explosions and they heard none before the flight data recorder started picking up drastic rudder swings.

No evidence of a bomb. Sorry conspiratorists.

Bump for similarities to TWA 800.

I believe Lynch and Conrad.

Wake tubulence?

This confirms an eyewitness interview I saw on TV that day - The guy was out on a boat, heard a 'pop', looked up and saw the plane flying level and intact but with flames on the right side - then said that part of the wing tore off, swung back and slapped the tail. The plane was flying level until this time. Said it wasn't until the tail was KNOCKED OFF BY THE WING that the jet banked and went into a steep nosedive.

You know, I lived in central Jersey when the TWA 800 happened. Same thing happened with day-of-incident eyewitness accounts on local newsbroadcasts describing sitings of missile trails. Then, after the incident day, we never saw or heard another word from the mainstream media about these reports.

I believe Lynch and Conrad.

I believe the flight data recorders and the wreckage evidence.

Said it wasn't until the tail was KNOCKED OFF BY THE WING

There is no such "slap" damage to the tail. Therefore this person was mistaken -- which is common in eyewitness accounts of such mishaps.

Fyi
NASA research facility to study tail of Flight 587

[scooter2]

Well, I still think a UFO shot it down. So there. (sacasm off)

Flight data recorders that you haven't heard. The videotape from the bridge not released. Meanwhile everyone ignores the people who saw what happened.

Is that the same NASA that faked Moon-Landings ?

[jlogajan]

Flight data recorders that you haven't heard.

I've seen the charts from the flight data recorders as well as photos of the tail and the tail mounts. There is no "wing slap" damage to the tail.

These witness accounts are often seriously flawed. The guy who saw the wing slap off the tail is clearly mistaken.

"No evidence of a bomb."

Were you on the team who listened to the recording? Have you heard the entire recording? Who says there is no data supporting an explosion. Whoever that....NTSB? Do you actually beleive what they say? Why do you discount folks who say they saw an explosion....and a burning wing come off? Why is any explantion, other than the governments, a conspiracy? Do you think any government entity has lied to the public to further an agenda?

"Why it hasn't been released, I suspect, is because the investigation is ongoing. But I don't know the answer to that."

You could make the tape public and still use the tape in the investigaion.

That way it would remove any conspiritorial types from claiming the tape was altered to fit the conclusion of the NTSB findings. The before investigation and after investigation tapes could be compared.-Tom

Yes. They are as good as it gets. They have a lot more credibility than a bunch of arm-chair yahoo conspiracy nuts, if you don't mind me saying.

Explosive bolts?
